Callaghan Associates is motivated and driven by the ethos of enabling people. Our person centered coaching and other services are designed to do just that, enable you in your personal and work life.
Barney Callaghan, the principal at Callaghan Associates, has over thirty years experience enabling and supporting people, young and not so young, and organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors. Barney’s experience includes service as a military officer in the Irish Defence Forces, senior health service management and as a CEO. He holds a 1st Class Honours MSc in Personal and Management Coaching from UCC and a range of other postgraduate qualifications focused on managing change and enabling people.
Our coaching services are delivered through the helping relationship that is the coaching relationship. Our focus is to help you live more effectively, manage difficulties better and tap into your unidentified and unused personal resources. We will help you be more effective at managing yourself. Professional coaching services are provided across a broad spectrum of activity including Personal, Executive, Business, Career, Leadership and Performance Coaching.We also work with Younger People to help them make that ofttimes challenging transition into early adulthood.
Our training and development services start with finding out what it is that you want done, need to know and/or be able to do to make meaningful progress in your life and work. Our services can be based on the outcome of a training needs analysis or a defined need you may already have identified.
The services provided by Callaghan Associates are designed to provide that initial energy to enable you discover your own greatness and in turn to empower yourself to achieve whatever goals you set yourself in life and work.
Our aim is to enable you to unlocking your potential in order to maximise your own performance. Callaghan Associates will help you to learn but not be your teacher. We employ a mindfulness approach to the coaching relationship.
We provide a wide range of targeted training and development interventions that can be tailored for you individually, for a group you work with or for your organisation.
Our organisational focused services are designed to support organisations to achieve their goals through achieving clarity on their strategic goals and through the people they employ. We enable people to focus on and contribute to achieving organisational goals by developing their individual capacity and ability to function in changing and sometimes ambiguous environments through coaching and training and development interventions.
Callaghan Associates is driven by the fundamental belief that as human beings we have capacity in us that we are unaware of and that remains untapped throughout much of our lives. The late John O’Donoghue wrote “a world lives within you. No-one else can bring you news of this inner world.” We all have the internal capacity to empower ourselves but we frequently need a little encouragement to take the first steps and see the greatness that lies within us. Callaghan Associates will help with these few very important steps and put you on the road to self discovery and empowering yourself.
Organisations are dependent on the ability of their people in order to achieve their goals. People in organisations who are enabled and empowered and understand themselves, their abilities and needs are better positioned to work individually and in teams to ensure an organisation achieves its goals. John Whitmore wrote “awareness and responsibility are without doubt two qualities that are crucial to performance in any activity.” Callaghan Associate’s coaching focuses on facilitating self discovery and bringing to the fore the concepts of awareness and responsibility and their application to improve understanding and performance in life and in the workplace.
